Banff Trail Riders - Store

Calm horses and highly skilled tour guides! I was with someone who was VERY nervous upon mounting a horse for the first time. However, Wesley the horse, and Bella the guide worked as a great team to help her feel comfortable, talking, signing, and providing the right encouragement and distraction. Beautiful trails and a great vibe. Well worth the price, highly recommended! 👏👏👏🐎

Our guide Lola was fabulous. Lola’s attention to detail was superb. A great adventure for all of us and climbing up to the Sundance Lodge was beautiful. The horses are very well behaved and friendly. Highly recommend the adventure!

My family had the great opportunity to do a three day ride with Banff Trail Riders. Two of our family members were experienced riders and the other two were beginner riders. BTR catered for every rider on the ride. Our horses were perfectly matched to our abilities, and beginner riders were placed directly behind the guide.
Lola, our guide was brilliant. She looked after each one of us with such patience and skill. Even during the storm that hit us on the second day, she dealt with the difficulties that arose with one of the experienced riders in our group, kept everyone calm and feeling comfortable.
Our accommodation was beautiful and ever so comfortable. I loved the sound of the river running beside the Sundance Lodge, sending me to sleep immediately. We were looked after so well by Hayden, host and chef at the lodge. We had a wonderful time talking to other riding groups at the lodge and enjoyed the lack of internet connection...we played games, did yoga beside the river, and generally had wonderful conversations.
I totally recommend Banff Trail Riders to anyone, even those who have very little riding experience. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

What a wonderful experience my two adults daughters and I had with Banff Trail Riders.
We chose the 1 hour BOW RIVER ride, quickly wished we chosen at least 2 hours, (next time). I had not sat on a horse in 40 years, but immediate felt comfortable. The experience starts with being fitted for a helmet and getting weighed so they match you with the perfect horse( don’t stress the weigh-in is 💯 private.
After a safety and “steering” demo, we were matched with 3 sweet boys 🐴🐴🐴. Milo, Wesley and Hondo. These horses are well behaved, well taken care of and very quiet.
Our guides were great and we had great interaction with the lead guide JJ, who coincidentally was from Atlantic Canada like us. We were the first three horses behind the guide which was wonderful. It was a nicely paced ride, beautiful scenery and all in all better than expected!! highly recommend !

We went on the carriage ride along the Bow River & through the town of Banff. Emma was phenomenal and the sweet horse pulling us was Bart.

I highly recommend this experience to enhance your trip to Banff! Banff Trail Riders has other tours that we are exciting to go on in the future as well!
